Vancouver Island University working to find balance between distance and on-campus learning
NANAIMO — The groundwork is being laid for how students will safely receive an education from Vancouver Island University.
It’s moving to a hybrid model of teaching, much like many other post-secondary institutions and school districts.
VIU’s provost and vice-president academic Carol Stuart told NanaimoNewsNOW every teacher in every program has carefully considered what can be done through distance-teaching, what can be handled by the students themselves and what must be taught face-to-face on campus.
“There’s a lot of work you can do through technology…that actually fulfills the type of experiential learnings we undertake.”
